every year around my birthday, i get sappy and sentimental. how has another year gone by? what did i do this year that iâm proud of? what do i want to accomplish in the next twelve months? 26 turned out to be one of the best years of my life, so i thought iâd start with a list of my favorite memories from over the last year.
my favorite things from 26:
frank lloyd wrights house in oak park
tuesday night calls with my grandma
dancing in tucson with my besties
mornings in mexico city
getting promoted
belly laughs with haley in france
snorkeling in the med
los angeles at halloween time
friendsgiving
bleaching my eyebrows
boise potato drop
quitobaquito springs at organ pipe cactus national monument
celebrating a year of this newsletter
seeing my best friends chase their dreams
throwing a rager for when they move away and chase their dreams
music
in other news, i think some of the albums that were released in april are going to end up being some of the best albums of the year.
sable fable is the perfect blend of old bon iver and new bon iver. i have no notes. plus, the fishwife collab was iconic. my favorite track so far has been from.
forever is a feeling has made me cry multiple times. this is such a beautiful album and hope lucy dacus and julien baker are together forever.
every year, i make a birthday playlist thatâs supposed to be a recap/soundtrack of the last year. twentyseven is all my favorite jams that played in the background of the last 12 months of my life.
photos i took:
for the first time since college, i decided to plan a portrait shoot with a friend. iâve been seeking out more creative and passion projects in my spare time and its been filling my cup. i was so happy with how they turned out, i was like waaaiiit im actually not bad lol.
thatâs all i have for this month! as always, thank you for reading and supporting another one of my creative outlets.
talk to you when iâm a little older and wiser!
your friend,
lauren
Hard agree that is the best lyric in the whole album!!!
